Digital Technologies for Community Health Worker–Facilitated Hearing Assessment in Low Resource Settings
Introduction Digital technologies are increasingly used to support task‐sharing to community healthcare workers (CHWs) for accessible hearing healthcare in low‐ and middle‐income (LMI) settings. This study evaluates the feasibility of CHW‐facilitated hearing care, enabled by digital technologies, for ear assessment, hearing testing, and telehealth support in LMI settings. Method CHWs in three South African LMI setting were trained to facilitate h…
Community-based hearing aid fitting model for adults in low-income communities facilitated by community health workers
BACKGROUND: Hearing loss affects more than 1.5 billion people worldwide, yet fewer than 10% of those who could benefit from hearing aids are able to access them. Barriers such as high costs, limited availability, and a critical shortage of trained professionals in low- and middle-income countries contribute to this gap, while emerging models of care-such as task-shifting to community healthcare workers (CHWs) supported by mHealth technologies-sho…
Combined hearing and vision screening programs
Background and aim: The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 1.5 billion and 2.2 billion people have hearing and vision impairment, respectively. The burden of these non-communicable diseases is highest in low- and middle-income countries due to a lack of services and health professionals. The WHO has recommended universal health coverage and integrated service delivery to improve ear and eye care services. This scoping review describes…
Impact of Sars-CoV-2 Virus (Covid-19) Preventative Measures on Communication
Introduction Face coverings and distancing as preventative measures against the spread of the Coronavirus disease 2019 may impact communication in several ways that may disproportionately affect people with hearing loss. A scoping review was conducted to examine existing literature on the impact of preventative measures on communication and to characterize the clinical implications. Method A systematic search of three electronic databases (Scopus…
Effectiveness of universal newborn hearing screening
Community-based adult hearing care provided by community healthcare workers using mHealth technologies
BACKGROUND: The rising prevalence of hearing loss is a global health concern. Professional hearing services are largely absent within low- and middle-income countries where appropriate skills are lacking. Task-shifting to community healthcare workers (CHWs) supported by mHealth technologies is an important strategy to address the problem. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the feasibility of a community-based rehabilitation model providing hearing aids to ad…
Community‐based assessment and rehabilitation of hearing loss
Although the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends the use of a Community-Based Rehabilitation (CBR) model, little is known about how CBR has been applied in the hearing healthcare setting. The purpose of this scoping review was to identify and describe studies on Community-Based Hearing Rehabilitation (CBHR) programs within the applied context. The review was conducted in September 2020 with updated searches in November 2021 according to th…
